THE SAN GABRIEL BOOTH.
The Mission year ago detied all
competitors to outdo its exhibit. The
ladies from there stem disposed to be
quite as successful this time. The Old
Mission Church is done to life, with it's
flying buttresses of evergreen, mar.
guerites between, and roof of ger
aniums. The booth had massed along
it hundreds of flowers of the abutilon,
thousands of roses of hundreds of vari.
cites, pelargoniums, nasturtiums, pan.
sizes, all Of the rarest sorts and most
magnificent growth. A basket of roses
of the beautiful Glazsnwood variety is
worth going to the festival to see.
There are also fine specimens of the
burgmansia suavedens, or fora ponda.
This booth has scales, and here
those who desire may find their weight.
Try it. Miss Delorac, assisted by Miss
Clara Eakin and Mr.. W.. V. Mathews
will attend to you. At this booth is
also splendid display of the rare wild
Mexican pea, of great size and beauty.
Mrs. Story has given the booth one
hundred plants of rare roses for sale.
They are all of the rarest varieties, and
cost only so and rs cents and 81.
THE FLORAL SHIP.
The great floral ship "Southern Cali
fornia" is one of the finest pieces in the
show. The masts are of poles covered
with evergreens; the rigging of fine
wrsaths OF the same material; the hull is
of geraniums, and the sea of pansies; she
is freighted with cargo of citrus fruit.
The craft is very rakish in design and
beautiful in execution. She measures
thirteen feet six inches over all. The
work was done by Mrs. D. E. Miles,
Mrs. j. S. Chapman and Miss Yoknm,
all of deft fingers and artistic taste. Mr..
Donald Ames rendered very efficient aid
10 the ladies' in this and in many other
matters. He is so obligingly willing and
10 handy.

The statement that this shoe is six feet

little flowers, which are put on SO closely
that nothing shows beneath them.
MEMORIES OF SNOW.
The manager, Mr. Colburn, with warm
of his old home in the bleak
north, has three scenes which revive
vividly the days Of ones boyhood. One

,eraniumns. The second is composed of

oanksia roses and geraniumns. The
hird is complete outfit for the game of
polo. All three are very well done.
THE VIOLET BOOTH,

Pavilion, is one OF the most attractive in

that abound here, the white of the mod.
